5. PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Mr. Tony Michaelis, Cathedral City resident, said that he had been an arriving
passenger at PSP on April 2nd at 1:00 p.m., and he voiced his concern with the chaos
at the baggage claim area. He said it took an hour to get his luggage and that there
wasn’t any communication with the passengers that were waiting for their luggage.
Mr. Michaelis referred to the article in the Desert Sun that had reported that airport
management had stated that the issues with airline operations was out of the airport’s
control, and he said that he believed that simple basic management could have made
a huge difference in the negative passenger experience. He also said that he believed
that it wouldn’t take much for a couple of managers to be at the location for those two
hours during the busy period to try to facilitate some communication with passengers
coming in. Mr. Michaelis said that he doesn’t accept management saying that the
situation is out of their control, and he said that he hopes that things improve.
Chairman Dada thanked Mr. Michaelis for his comments, and he said that the airport
staff would contact him to address his comments.
6. APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES:
Commissioner Hedrick requested that his request to Arica Gately with CLEAR for

10. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REPORT:
10.A Projects Update and Airport Capital Improvement Program Update
Interim Airport Executive Director Barrett said that there were nine total noise
complaints over the month of March, eight commercial aircraft noise complaints and
one general aviation noise complaint. He said that four of the complaints came from
the Rancho Mirage area which is four and half miles from the airport, and the
remaining complaints came from more than 13 miles from the airport. Mr. Barrett noted
Palm Springs Airport Commission
Action Summary Minutes of Regular Adjourned Meeting
April 20, 2022
______________________________________________________________________
Page 3 of 11
that airport staff is starting to receive more interest in commercial aircraft noise which
staff is addressing.
Mr. Barrett said that in regard to the airport’s baggage handling system challenges,
staff had narrowed down most of the problems associated with the baggage handling
system to capacity issues that were being caused by the surge in aircraft operations
that occurred between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. He said that staff has
been working on the system internally, and there has been some software upgrades
and hardware reconfiguration. Mr. Barrett noted that Alaska Airlines had a pilot strike
which temporarily reduced services, and he said that some of the seasonal carriers
are winding down for the year. Mr. Barrett said that staff was entering into an
agreement with V-1 Consulting for baggage handling system consulting. He said that
V-1 Consulting had assisted Denver International Airport with their baggage capacity
challenges and that V-1 Consulting would be assessing PSP’s baggage handling
system, and they would be looking into the decisions that had been made throughout
the construction process to hopefully make some recommendations on how the airport
staff can make improvements. Mr. Barrett said that he wasn’t anticipating that there
will be a short-term fix and that the process will take several months, and he said that
the Commission would receive briefings on the status of the assessment.
Commissioner Miller referred to the comments received from Mr. Michaelis, he asked
if it would help to have better communication, and he said that passengers do not
differentiate between the airport and the airlines when it comes to baggage.
Commissioner Miller asked if there was a way to situate airport staff during the peak
hours to help communicate with the people at the baggage claim area the status of
their baggage. Mr. Barrett said that the airport staff was beginning to implement some
measures to address these issues, staff is looking into utilizing the airport volunteers,
the Navigators, to solicit their assistance in helping to manage the baggage claim and
the ticket wing queuing. He said that staff has also been working with the airlines on
their schedules and their manpower issues so that the airlines can be able to provide
the best customer service when their passengers arrive.
Commissioner Hedrick asked if the airlines have insufficient personnel to unload the
baggage. Mr. Barrett confirmed that the airlines do have insufficient personnel, and
he said that there is a number of problems with the baggage claim, the baggage claim
is undersized for the type of aircraft that the airport is receiving, the airport is limited
to three baggage carousels in the baggage claim area which creates a mad dash for
the airlines to try to get their bags onto the belt first during the peak periods, and he
said that some of the airlines have had ground handling challenges. Mr. Barrett said
that American Airlines had recently changed their ground handler, and he believes
that there will be other airlines that will also be changing their ground handler.
Commissioner Wiseman asked if there is a functional intercom system in the baggage
claim area where communications could be made. Mr. Barrett said that there are
functional intercom systems that are staged at the bag claim offices for each airline,
Palm Springs Airport Commission
Action Summary Minutes of Regular Adjourned Meeting
April 20, 2022
______________________________________________________________________
Page 4 of 11
and the airline staff have access to those intercom systems. Mr. Barrett said that the
airport staff was working on installing a central PA system. Commissioner Wiseman
asked if it would be an imposition for the airport staff to ask the airlines to improve
their communications by using the intercom systems. Mr. Barrett said that the airport
staff had already spoken to the airlines about using the intercom systems, and he said
that some of the airlines were improving their communication with the passengers.
Commissioner Payne inquired about using the bits display above the baggage
carousels to display notifications for the passengers. Mr. Barrett said that the software
that drives the system would need to be upgraded. Commissioner Payne asked if
there was anything in the lease agreement with the airlines that would allow the airport
staff to punish the airlines for taking too long to deliver bags. Deputy Director of
Aviation Marketing and Air Service Meier said that there isn’t anything written in the
lease agreement that would allow the airport staff to punish a carrier for delayed
baggage delivery and that it has been his experience that it would be difficult to try to
enforce punishments. Commissioner Payne suggested that the airport staff call out
the airlines that underperforming. Mr. Meier said that he would advise against calling
out the airlines, and he said that it wouldn’t be in the airports best interest to alienate
the airlines.
Commissioner Hedrick asked if the main issue is that the airport doesn’t have the
capacity for the airlines to process and offload the bags. Mr. Barrett said that the main
issue is a facility issue, and he said that staff is exploring applying for grant funding
for baggage claim expansion and development. Commissioner Miller asked if it would
be possible for the bit display software to be upgraded so that there could be a visual
to help alleviate some of the issue. Mr. Barrett said that he would need to work with
the City’s IT Department to see if the software upgrade could be feasible.
Commissioner Miller said that he believed that the City Council has a mechanism for
emergency situations. Mr. Barrett explained that the law is restrictive on what can be
classified as an emergency. Commissioner Payne asked if the problem is that the
airport doesn’t have the funds to fix the problem or that the problem cannot be
escalated and prioritized with the vendor. Mr. Barrett explained that he would need to
consult with the City’s IT Department because software upgrades are not handled
internally by the airport staff.
Commissioner Payne asked if the system was scaled for a certain amount and due to
a variety of factors such as an increase of passengers the amount has increased
significantly, and the airport staff did not know this would happen in the design initially.
Mr. Barrett explained that the baggage claim system is the original system, and the
outbound baggage handling system has been recently upgraded. Mr. Barrett said that
he believes that the baggage claim system has met its useful life and that the design
program needs to be upgraded.

Commissioner Wiseman said that fixing the problem is clearly a long-term task and
communicating better about the problem to passengers is something that staff can
attack right now to make a better experience for the passengers. Mr. Barrett said that
the airport staff was working on improving communication.
Commissioner Payne inquired about the warranty on the outbound baggage handling
system. Mr. Barrett said that the outbound baggage handling system hasn’t been
meeting the airports capacity needs, particularly with the number of aircraft and
passengers that have been coming through facility, and the airport staff has been
working with the software and programmable logic controller provider Intellimodus, the
manufacturer Logan Teleflex, and Swinerton who is the builder to figure out what is
happening with the system. He said that staff has been actively making tweaks to the
system to try to gain some of the capacity back which has worked to a very incremental
degree. Mr. Barrett said that V-1 Consulting would be assessing the system to
determine if the system can be reconfigured with modifications to make the system
work better for the airport.
Commissioner Payne asked if the contract had been paid out. Mr. Barrett said that the
contract had been paid out to Swinerton. Commissioner Payne asked if staff had
discussed restarting the warranty period with the City Council since the contract is not
performing to specifications, and he said that he didn’t understand why the warranty
should have started in the first place. Mr. Barrett clarified that the warranty is still in
effect, there hasn’t been a discussion with the City Council, and he said that staff is
going through an exercise to figure out what decisions had been made by the previous
airport director and what decisions were made by the designer.
Commissioner Hedrick said that basically the system is too small for the airport’s
needs. Mr. Barrett said that during the peak hours, the system is too small for the
airport’s needs. Commissioner Hedrick noted that the issue is going to grow as the
airport grows. Mr. Barrett agreed with Commissioner Hedrick.
Commissioner Payne asked Mr. Barrett if he thought that he would know the problem
in the history by the next Commission meeting or if he thought it would take longer to
get the information. Mr. Barrett said that he believed that it could take three to four
months before staff could truly know where things are and what needs to be done.
Mr. Barrett noted that Vested Solutions had begun providing janitorial services at the
airport on April 11th, he said that Vested Solutions is providing overnight janitorial
services to supplement the airport staff to help keep the facility clean, and they are
also providing two restroom attendants during the peak hours of 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
He said that he is hoping that there will be a noticeable improvement in the facility
hygiene. Commissioner Miller said that he had received comments from two fellow
residents who had both said that they had seen a huge difference in the bathrooms
and that the bathrooms were much cleaner.

Mr. Barrett reported that CLEAR had launched their services at the airport on the
previous Thursday and that the launch has been successful. He said that the airport
staff had noticed an almost immediate improvement in wait times at the TSA
checkpoint, and the CLEAR staff have been good about helping with queue
management. Mr. Barrett said that CLEAR had reported that as of Monday, there had
been 1,530 members that were vetted through the facility, and CLEAR also tracked
approximately 2,100 members that were inbound to PSP. Mr. Barrett said that CLEAR
had provided a response to Commissioner Hedrick’s inquiry about the ambassador’s
wages, and he said that the ambassador’s base rate is $16 per hour plus commission
which is $13 per member enrollment.
Commissioner Payne asked if the airport staff had received a response from CLEAR
about the suggestion that Commissioner Miller had made that was in regard to CLEAR
offering a senior discount. Mr. Barrett said that staff had not received an official
response, and he said that staff would follow up with CLEAR.
10.B Budget and Finance Committee Update:
Committee Chairman Feltman turned the Budget and Finance Committee update over
to Airport Administration Manager Carpenter.
Ms. Carpenter noted that there were some revisions made to the budget which
included an increase to capital projects for an amount of $1.9 million. She said that
the projects included restroom renovations, switching over to common use, paving at
Gate 16, and the local FAA match that wasn’t included in the original draft of the
budget. Ms. Carpenter also noted that the airport’s expenses had been increased by
$2.2 million to reflect the increase in the capital program and additional staffing.
Ms. Carpenter presented the final budgets for Funds 405 – Customer Facility Charge,
410 – Passenger Facility Charge, 415 – Airport Operations & Maintenance and 416 –
Capital Projects. Commissioner Feltman asked if the airport staff had budgeted funds
for upgrading the baggage claim system. Ms. Carpenter said that a baggage claim
project has been scheduled for the future, and staff intends on utilizing FAA funding
for the project. She said that depending on the cost, there could be funds available in
415 – Airport Operations & Maintenance to start the planning process for the project.
Commissioner Feltman asked if the airport had already received the FAA funding. Ms.
Carpenter said that the airport would be applying for the entitlement funding that the
FAA provides on an annual basis, and she said that the baggage claim project was
included in the 5-Year Plan that was submitted to the FAA.
Mr. Barrett said that the airport is required to provide a five-year project outlook for the
FAA, and the FAA tries to prioritize and balance the projects between capacity and
Palm Springs Airport Commission
Action Summary Minutes of Regular Adjourned Meeting
April 20, 2022
______________________________________________________________________
Page 7 of 11
safety issues. Mr. Barrett said that he believed that the baggage claim project was
scheduled for 2024-2025, and he said that staff was considering utilizing other grant
opportunities to expedite the project. Commissioner Payne asked if the additional FAA
funding was included in Ms. Carpenter’s spreadsheet. Mr. Barrett said that the
additional FAA funding was not included in the spreadsheet. Commissioner Payne
said that it seemed that staff was confident about receiving the FAA funds and that
staff would be working on getting the FAA to move the funds up so that they could be
used sooner. Mr. Barrett agreed with Commissioner Payne’s assessment. Ms.
Carpenter reminded the Commission that the grant funds are funds that are
reimbursed, and she said that the airport will get reimbursed for the projects that have
been identified in the 5-Year Plan.
Commissioner Miller suggested that Ms. Carpenter identify the FAA projects that will
be addressed in the future as separate line items. Commissioner Payne asked if there
is a list of the capital projects that are currently funded and ongoing versus what you
expect to come down the line by year. Ms. Carpenter said that staff typically provides
the breakdown of the proposed capital projects for the future fiscal year to the Budget
and Finance Committee. Commissioner Miller asked if the baggage claim system
project was included in the 5-Year Plan. Ms. Carpenter confirmed that the project is
listed in the 5-Year Plan.
Item 10.C was heard after Item 10.E
10.C Financial Summary Update:
Airport Administration Manager Carpenter reviewed the financial summary for the
period ending March 31, 2022, and she noted that the On Airport Rental Care revenue
was $7 million which is a record for the airport. Commissioner Payne asked if the spike
in revenue was passenger driven and if it was also due to pricing. Ms. Carpenter said
that the revenue spike was definitely passenger driven.
Commissioner Miller referred to Fund 415 - Airport Operations & Maintenance, and
he noted that the Operating Revenue summary for FY 21-22 was listed as $22.5
million and the Operating Revenue detail for FY 21-22 was listed as $28,489,698 and
that the difference between the two amounts was the CARES Act funds, and he
suggested that for the casual observer, it could be helpful to list the CARES Act funds
separately so that the subtotals are equal.
Commissioner Miller referred to the expenditures of Fund 415 - Airport Operations &
Maintenance, he noted that the City hadn’t taken its PERS Cost Recovery yet, and he
asked when does the recovery normally take place. Ms. Carpenter said that the
Palm Springs Airport Commission
Action Summary Minutes of Regular Adjourned Meeting
April 20, 2022
______________________________________________________________________
Page 8 of 11
recovery normally takes place at or around the end of the fiscal year. Commissioner
Miller inquired about the amount of expenditure savings. Ms. Carpenter said that the
expenses are higher than the prior years, and she said that staff is being conscious
about what the funds are being spent on. Commissioner Miller suggested that staff
should be mindful of airport needs that staff may have not budgeted for and that the
extra revenue could be used to fund any additional airport needs. Ms. Carpenter said
that the extra revenue funds could potentially be used for additional staffing.
Commissioner Payne referred to the Airport Operations & Maintenance Expenditures
graph, and he asked if most of the expense is for labor. Ms. Carpenter said that
salaries and benefits do make up a good portion of the expenses. Commissioner
Payne asked if it would be possible for Ms. Carpenter to include the desired positions
for FY 22-23 in the graph. Ms. Carpenter said that she believed that the information
that Commissioner Payne was requesting had been provided to the Budget and
Finance Committee and that she would check to see if the information had been
provided and discussed. Commissioner Miller said that the new positions had been
discussed at the Budget and Finance Committee meeting and that he wasn’t sure that
the discussion included the information for the current positions, and he asked
Commissioner Feltman if he recalled receiving the information for the current
positions. Commissioner Feltman said that he did not recall receiving the information
for the current positions. Commissioner Miller suggested that the information could be
discussed at the next meeting.
Commissioner Miller asked if airport staff was finding better candidates for positions.
Mr. Barrett said that generally the airport staff was finding better candidates, and he
said that it depends on the position. He said that there will always be candidates that
are disqualified because they have a criminal background and they cannot be badged,
and he said that there are candidates that quit shortly after being hired because of the
amount of walking or work that is required.
10.D Marketing Update:
Director of Aviation Marketing and Air Service Meier noted that CLEAR had arrived at
PSP, and he thanked Mr. Barrett for his initiative for bringing CLEAR to PSP. Mr. Meier
reviewed the benefits of CLEAR, and he noted that passengers can use their CLEAR
membership in lieu of their government identification to get through TSA.
Mr. Meier reported that the March passenger numbers had achieved the eighth PAX
record since June 2021. He said that due to staff shortages, Allegiant would be
suspending their service to Bellingham for June, July and August. Mr. Meier noted
that there are now 15 summer routes versus the 10 summer routes in 2019.
Palm Springs Airport Commission
Action Summary Minutes of Regular Adjourned Meeting
April 20, 2022
______________________________________________________________________
Page 9 of 11
Mr. Meier reviewed the scheduled departing seats for May through August 2022, and
he compared the numbers to 2019 and 2021, and he noted that each of the months
will have increases for 2022. Mr. Meier said that in regard to marketing, PSP would
be changing over to the summer advertisements to focus on the 15 summer routes.
Mr. Meier reported that PSP was participating as a sponsor for two radio station
vacation giveaways. He said that KGAY was giving away a European vacation and
that for the $2,500 sponsorship, PSP would get airtime valued at $7,000, and KCAL
was giving away a trip to the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento and that for the $2,000
sponsorship, PSP would get airtime valued at $37,000. Mr. Meier said that the winners
would be required to fly from PSP.
Mr. Meier reported that the new Brand and Website RFP had been issued and that
the selection committee would be making their selection on April 25th, the selected
proposal would be brought to the May Commission meeting, and if approved by the
Commission, the agreement would be brought to the City Council on May 26th. He
said that the work would begin as soon as the agreement is approved by the City
Council, the process that will involve the Marketing Committee, the Commission and
various community groups will take four to six months, and the goal is to have both
the brand and the website launched by October 2022.
Commissioner Payne inquired about the criteria for selection. Mr. Meier said that the
selection would come down to experience with developing websites and branding,
specifically experience with airports, and the years of experience of their team.
Commissioner Payne asked if the website would be a stand-alone website for the
airport or would you have to go through the City’s website to get to the airport’s
website. Mr. Meier confirmed that it would be a stand-alone website.
Mr. Meier reported that the Advertising RFP had been issued and proposals would be
due on April 26th. He said that the goal is to bring the agreement to the Commission
in May, but it could possibly be June, then the agreement would be brought to the City
Council for approval, and if approved, the work would begin on July 1st. He noted
that even though PSP will be using an outside agency that would be handling the
advertising, the airport staff will be providing their guidance to the agency, and the
airport staff would have the final say on all media buys and campaign designs. Mr.
Meier also noted that ad agencies can negotiate better pricing because they do bulk
buys.
Commissioner Payne inquired about the services with Aviatrix Communications that
had previously been approved by the Commission. Mr. Meier explained that the
services that had previously been approve by the Commission were for Aviatrix
Communications to develop a marketing and communications plan for PSP.
Commissioner Payne referred to new customers that don’t normally fly in and out of
PSP, and he inquired about the customer segment that was identified by Aviatrix or
Mr. Meier that would be a net gain for the airport. Mr. Meier said that there are many
Palm Springs Airport Commission
Action Summary Minutes of Regular Adjourned Meeting
April 20, 2022
______________________________________________________________________
Page 10 of 11
different customer segments and that it comes down to how you communicate with
each of the segments.
Commissioner Payne asked how staff can measure the success of the advertising.
Mr. Meier said that the metrics from billboard and radio come from the advertising
agencies, and he said that digital advertising provides the metrics for how many
people are viewing the advertisement, and how many people are clicking on the
advertisement links. He said that he can also review the analytics to see what platform
the advertisement is being viewed on. Mr. Meier said that he also utilizes a software
called Placer.ai that allows him to track the data for specific radiuses to determine the
pre-advertising data and the current advertising data.
Commissioner Payne said in regard to the RFP, could staff tie compensation to new
passengers that are arriving which would be done by targeting a segment, capturing
some percentage of that segment, and part of the advertising agency’s goal would be
to show that the advertising actually pulled more passenger outbound from PSP. Mr.
Meier said that there is a performance clause that allows the City to cancel the contract
with the advertising agency if they don’t meet the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
for the various campaigns.
Item 10.E was heard before Item 10.C.
10.E Concession RFP Update
Airport Administration Manager Carpenter said that she was planning on getting the
draft Concessions RFP out to the Commission by no later than the week of May 5th,
she would be asking for the Commissioner’s comments to be submitted within a week
from receiving the draft RFP, the RFP would be finalized by May 19th, and the RFP
would be issued to the public by June 6th. Ms. Carpenter reviewed the Concessions
RFP roadmap that had been provided with the first RFP draft, and she noted that the
dates have remained as originally proposed.

14.COMMITTEES:
14.A Future Committee Meetings
Commissioner Payne asked if there had been a Marketing Committee meeting. Mr.
Meier said that there hadn't been a Marketing Committee meeting because the
Marketing Committee is an Ad Hoc Committee and there hadn't been a need to have
a meeting. Mr. Meier said that he was anticipating scheduling a Marketing Committee
meeting when the branding and website contract and start date is finalized.
Commissioner Feltman reported that he had received feedback from a resident about
the castle banners around the airport being in bad condition. Mr. Meier said that he
agreed, and he said that the banners would be taken down and replaced with banners
·that will have the new brand in the fall.
Commissioner Dada noted that there had been a brief Noise Committee meeting at
4:00 p.m., and he noted that there was a public speaker in the meeting and that staff
would be in contact with that person.
Commissioner Payne inquired about the Commission receiving notification of public
comments and staffs responses to the public comments. Mr. Barrett explained that if
the public comment and response is in writing, staff will provide the information to the
Commission and that verbal comments are not transcribed.

The Palm Springs International Airport proposes to enter into an agreement with Aviatrix

comprehensive brand and a new website. This will help in the airport’s marketing efforts,
improve airport user communication, and position the airport to better compete with
airports the region.
RECOMMENDATION:
This action will recommend to City Council the approval of a contract with Aviatrix
Communications, LLC for the development of an airport brand and website.
BACKGROUND:
Palm Springs International Airport has never had a comprehensive brand developed. The
airport logo was originally designed for the Palm Springs Convention Center, and the
words “Convention Center” were exchanged with “International Airport” to create the logo
currently in use. In 2021, a consultant researched and developed a Marketing &
Communications Plan for the airport, and the primary finding of their research was the
need for the airport to establish a vibrant, unique airport brand that best positions the
airport as the airport of the entire Coachella Valley. Another shortcoming is that PSP does
not have a mission statement, values statement, vision statement, nor any type of unique
identity. PSP also has challenges due to perceptions that it’s too expensive, that there
are not enough airlines or flights, and even that it is a seasonal airport that shuts down in
the summer.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The Aviation Department worked with the Procurement and Contracting Department to
issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to find a provider of these needed services. The
RFP was advertised in the local newspaper and published on the PlanetBids website.
ITEM 9.B
Airport Commission Staff Report

Aviatrix Communications, LLC Agreement – Airport Brand and Website
Nine proposals were received and evaluated by an evaluation team made up of staff from
the Aviation, Communications Departments and from Visit Greater Palm Springs. The
proposals were evaluated against published criteria that included the firms experience,
experience of the team, understanding of the scope of work, local preference, and price.
Aviatrix Communications, LLC was ranked the highest by the evaluation team and is
being recommended for award of the contract.
Aviatrix Communications, LLC will develop a fully realized comprehensive brand that will
set up PSP to stand out as the airport of choice among area residents and tourists coming
to the Coachella Valley, and for those that live nearby that can easily choose among
several area airports, including PSP.
As part of the new brand development, PSP’s website will be re-designed and re-built to
match the new branding. The current website lacks functionalities that many airports
currently have, and it’s built at PalmSpringsAirport.com. The new website will be built on
the airport’s new web address, flyPSP.com, which will conform with PSP’s social media
handles and other marketing efforts. The PalmSpringsAirport.com web address will
remain active, but it will automatically re-direct users to flyPSP.com when the new website
is complete.
The new website will clearly communicate PSP’s new brand while being more informative
of PSP’s offerings and unique travel experience, it will increase ease of use, increase
ADA and privacy compatibility, and it will be offered in multiple languages including
Spanish. The new website will also offer interactive terminal maps, a route map that can
offer the ability for passengers to shop for their next flight by providing sample fares from
PSP, and TSA Checkpoint wait times. The primary objective is to improve the customer
experience and increase usability. It will also be built so more functionalities can be easily
added as technology evolves.
With the development of a comprehensive brand and website, PSP will appeal to a
broader audience beyond the city of Palm Springs. The target audience will include all
nine cities in the Coachella Valley, the High Desert communities, San Gorgonio Pass
communities, and Inland Empire residents that can easily choose between PSP or
another area airport.
This project will complete Goal 1 of PSP’s three-year Marketing & Communications Plan,
and it will position PSP to compete not only for our local residents, but also those that live
within a 1.5-to-2-hour drive of PSP and inbound tourists.
Therefore, Airport staff requests that the Airport Commission recommends to City Council
to approve this Agreement.

Subject:RE: Airport Cleanliness
Date:Thursday, May 5, 2022 5:13:54 PM
Hi Paul,
Thank you for taking this up and responding. There has been additional
movement on some of these things:
Concerning airport hygiene:
PSP airport staff is being completely retrained on cleaning processes,
including standardizing procedures, a method for auditing/reporting, and
realignment of duties. This has been a goal for nearly a year now and
we’ve reached the point where those changes are starting to take effect.
Vector Solutions, the contractor supplementing our staff, is still working
on recruiting additional staff to fulfill their contract. However, their team
has been working for two weeks now and we are noticing a gradual
improvement in the cleanliness of the facility. We are continuing to
engage with them on a weekly basis to ensure they understand the needs
of the airport.
There is recognition across the City that certain positions are well
understaffed, our janitorial team included. Last night during our City
Council study session the airport requested additional staff or janitorial
services. While I am unable to speak for the City Council, the group
appeared to understand the need for additional resources and I imagine
our requests will be approved.
There is also recognition that some areas will need deep cleaning due to
neglect – and that effort is already being coordinated.
Regarding baggage claim:
Airline staff have been notified of the issues/comments we’ve been
receiving concerning bag return times. It appears that the challenge is a
manpower/contractual issue – and specific to two airlines. We have met
with those airlines and they are actively working to improve their ground
handling.
ITEM 13.D
There have been complaints to the airport about baggage claim being
disorganized. While airport staff don’t have the ability to get into the day
to day with the airlines, we have done two things:
We have met with the airlines to set parameters for which belt they
drop bags on. It appears that some airlines were waiting to use a
“preferred” belt, which is something the airport does not
recommend as it causes delays
Airport staff are in the process of installing PA systems on the airside
of the airport (at the bag drops), which will help airline ground
personnel. The intent is for airlines to use the system to announce
which belt a flight’s bags are being deposited to. Until now, the
agent in the Baggage Office was responsible for making that
announcement, but with the staffing challenges the airlines have
been unable to both drop bags and staff the baggage office.
We have asked the Navigators/volunteer staff to assist with
providing information to inbound passengers who may have
questions about their bags
We are in the process of identifying temporary solutions to ease
congestion in bag claim until a long-term solution can be identified.
Some of the more feasible ideas need to be vetted with TSA and with
the City agencies so that we have a clear understanding of the
impacts.
Outbound Baggage Handling System:
The outbound system is frankly more of a challenge. We have been
working with the designer, manufacturer and the software provider to
make changes in an effort to improve efficiency. We have noticed small
improvements, however they are not sufficient enough to overcome the
system shortfalls.
The airport has contracted with a third-party consultant to conduct an
independent assessment of the system and to provide recommendations
for implementation. We expect that process to take 2-3 months. Airport
staff is working on contingency plans for the BHS for the upcoming season
to mitigate issues to the extent we can.
Concessions:
The final draft RFP for concessions should be distributed to the Airport
Commission by this evening.
Unfortunately, due to infrastructure and spatial constraints, adding
concessions to the current contract has been a challenge; the airport is
proposing some ideas to Paradies to enhance offerings and shorten wait
times for the upcoming season. We are awaiting a response from Paradies
on the feasibility.
As you mentioned, many of these issues are tied directly to the passenger
increases. We’ve seen a number of these challenges lessen as the seasonal
carriers have gone dormant. However, we do believe these issues will return
going into the winter and our staff is working through those scenarios to
identify solutions.
Thanks,
Harry Barrett Jr., A.A.E.

All,
Please see below email I received as the General Managers of Indian Wells
hotels and resorts are most likely getting complaints about PSP from their
patrons. I have responded and am open to any further input you may wish
to provide.

Subject: Re: Airport Cleanliness
Chris,
Interestingly these were addressed at our meeting 2 weeks ago and some
of the issue have since been taken care of and rectified while others are in
process to be solved.
As you know PSP airport has experienced significant growth in the past 2
years and nearly all other airports sans PSP have also reported a
significant surge in air travel that has, frankly, surprised the airports. The
issue specifically at Palm Springs airport was that planes would land at the
airport and travelers would deplane in large droves and would immediately
head for the restrooms, overwhelming staff and resources tasked with
maintaining the cleanliness of the restrooms. Suddenly you have a huge
spike in users that would overwhelm the waste canisters and other issues
in the stalls. Airport staff is now more aware of this and is cleaning and
maintaining in more frequent intervals the restrooms.
Other issues such as long lines and baggage are also being addressed. The
baggage system at the airport was fully upgraded last year at a cost of
several million dollars and a new more efficient system has been installed .
Some "kinks" are still being worked out of the system. Some of the added
strain is also due to the growth seen at the airport and the Commission
and Airport Executives have placed the issue related to the wait time for
claiming baggage a top priority with possible solutions identified in our
Commission meeting 2 weeks ago. In 2 weeks we will hear updates to the
proposed and planned remedies and I will respond to you with further
updates.
My belief is that we need to provide a great experience to travelers to the
Coachella Valley and that experience begins with travelers who utilize PSP
when they arrive at the airport. We need to be the Gold Standard as that
level of service is maintained among our hotels in Indian Wells and
surrounding areas. My belief is also that problems cannot be fixed unless
we are aware of them so I thank you and the General Managers for bring
these issues to the attention of the Airport Commission.
Additionally, if you would like me to address this and other airport-related
items with the General Managers next time you meet with them please let
me know and I will be more than happy to speak with them.
Regards,
Paul Budilo

Paul,
Hope you re well. Yesterday, I met with the General Managers of our local hotels. At the
meeting we discussed comments we have been hearing about the overall cleanliness and lack
of amenities at the Palm Springs Airport (e.g., dirty restrooms, lack of toilet paper, long food
lines, long waits for baggage, etc.). We thought it best to share with you since you serve as
our liaison to the Board. We will be meeting again on May 24th and I can update the General
Managers at that meeting, if you have anything we can report.
Thank you,
Chris
